Icarus Again

Goblin Bazaar

On her way home from work, Christina is lured into an empty shop by a strange creature. Christina is offered a bargain; battle the Goblin warrior Abria or buy an orphaned baby. 

Inspired by Christina Rossetti's gothic poem Goblin Market, the narrative - with an emphasis on the bizarre - draws Christina herself into this hybrid story with a speculative edge.

The Mudlark

Teenager Charlie has little choice but to support his dying mum by working as a mudlark, collecting debris on the beach six days a week. For Charlie, families live in seedy B&Bs and eat crappy take-out food. Benefits barely pay the bills and young people try to get by in the unjust gig economy. The Mudlark takes you into a world of social deprivation concealed behind the shiny exterior of seaside towns.
Inspired by Henry Mayhew's social observation of nineteenth-century life where individuals subsist below the margins, The Mudlark offers a contemporary take on the Victorian abyss of poverty, job insecurity and stolen youth.
